    Hooo. Fair point. I've got you at #5 and Doog at #4 in my spreadsheet, so must have bollocksed it up when typing it in. Consider it fixed.

    2nd half team looks a lot better in places tbf. Consider this statement retracted.

    First half team seems to be the much better overall, and I think you just mean yourself tbh.

    Nah - there's definitely a split between the 1st and 2nd half line ups. Blunder, Marcuss, Benny, yourself/Paddy, Pilgrim/Luffers, Verigoat & Farny would all be on my pre-Trial 1st XV.

    I just looked and felt that apart from Marcuss I think a lot of the positional battles that you mention there are quite close. I wouldn't have said those places were a lot better, whereas the front three in the first squad is much better, as are the flankers, and you.

    Both centres, Blunder, Farny, Luffers and Veri at the very least tbph. So gagf.

    Forgot about Gazza, so would say Paddy. So including myself that's 6 positions where I rate the 2nd half team higher and that's off the top of my head without having looked back at the sides. Just seen Heef's above post and would add Benny in. So that's 7.

    Pilgrim/Luffers combo to dominate.

    I'd say Verigoat was better than me in S3, tbh. Or at least as good as. The front rowers; yes, the 1st half line up has players that should be superior to those in the 2nd half. However, I'm more interested in the tight battles. I'd say I've got the front row combination pretty much pencilled in already.
